I have been a potter for 44 years mainly producing functional stoneware.
Until 2010, I ran a gallery/ teaching space and studio in
Baldwinsville. Currently I teach at Clayscapes Pottery in Syracuse.
(clayscapes.com) I have an eclectic voice in clay, enjoying simple mugs,
bowls and teapots. But, I also create planters and lanterns for the
garden. Recently, I have enjoyed making sculptural cats and women with a
new direction working in life scale, and the painting? Ten years ago I wanted to quit clay. I needed a change. My youngest
daughter was off to college. I took a recreational watercolor class from
Elaine Crough. I realized quickly that I needed more. I enrolled in a
drawing class at Oswego State. I then proceeded to matriculate and
graduated 5 years later with a BFA in painting. I now work in both
watercolor and clay and am always looking forward to something new to
say. Millie St JohnTop: Millie with terracotta sculpture.
